Add Private Note Display - TNG

If you are not comfortable with html and php editing, this page may not be for you

Overview

This TNG modification deals with notes. It is a modification to the person pages so that notes that are marked "Private" will display for admin users.

Revision History

Requirements

1. A working TNG installation - see The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding
2. A backup of your TNG personlib.php files

Side effects

1. As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented.
2. The TNG "Private" flag for notes will be overwritten during a GEDCOM import. This mod is most useful for those who use TNG as their only genealogy database program and do not use a desktop application with a GEDCOM import to TNG.
